My BIL’s cancer was stage4 when it was diagnosed. Only my husband played the waiting game, after knowing his younger brother's fate. So far the chemo is keeping the cancer at bay. He is on a second drug that keeps sores from healing and he has a lesion in his lung that is the source of his pneumonia. There is some hinting at surgery today. Not really sure, but they took him off all solid foods last night just in case of "something". They got the results of the cat scan, so something is up.

Is your BIL going to have surgery? A lot of those chemotherapy drugs are very damaging-my contractor compadre was taken off of them several months ago-while keeping the cancer at bay, the drugs were killing him slowly, organ by organ-he is having the gene-based therapy now, only on maintenance doses every few months working a full week again, and much better.

I saw an article on American Thinker all about Kwaanza being a made-up holiday, how an American criminal who tortured women invented it without even checking the history of Africa, etc-just a lot of invented mumbo jumbo, like my neighbor and I were sure it was when she told her niece that-it is sold as a harvest celebration-more than two months after the harvest is done?

The fool said Egyptians celebrated it, too-totally untrue, lots of other ridiculous stuff-I can’t believe a teacher with a functioning brain would even mention that fiction in a class, unless it was to make kids look it up on the internet and write a paper on why it was such bulls***...

By the way, the neighbor told me her sister did indeed make a complaint to the school board, only to find there were 6 already made about the teacher wasting class time on kwanza by other parents. I guess there are still some parents with sense in Austin...
